    Diamond City
    WRITTEN BY
    David "Ziggy" Marley


    Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone yea Well I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart Well I've seen a crime to it I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart Oh diamond city let me take you there There everyday there's a need for revolution She's like a mother who denies her newborn milk Lost are the thrills of life as we know them they one man swim yet many more are drowning Well I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart Yes I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart In a diamond city let me take you there Surely we can help each other in this earth Ain't no need to be greedy or too proud no need Because the color of our skin they gave us no chance to win Well I've seen a crime to it I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart We will fight for our rights we will fight for Africa we will fight for our freedom Did you hear we will fight for Africa I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind living in a diamond city with a broken heart Yes I've seen a crime where are the cops this time living in a diamond city with a broken heart Oh diamond city come here let me take you there let me take you there I'll take you there lead vocal: Ziggy Marley harmonies: Cedella Marley, Sharon Marley, Erica Newell drums: Raphael Wolde Miriam bass: Zeleke Gessesse keyboards: Melaku Retta, Carol McLaughlin, Mallory Williams guitars: Mulu Gessesse, Ziggy Marley percussion: Uzziah Thompson harmony arrangement: Mikey Bennett
